- SRSheila Reine4 days ago5.0I had the 5 oz I think. Alice chicken and fries. It was good but the chicken was a little overcooked. Other than that I would go back there again. Recommend them. They have good food.
- DCdaniel campNov 16, 20253.0Want to start by saying service by Mohammad was phenomenal. Buddy was on it, absolutely zero complaints. In fact the only reason I want to leave a review was due to the host. Unsure of her name she had long black hair and looked Hispanic. Extremely rude upon coming in. She acted as if she didn’t care to be there at all. In addition to that she was loud and disruptive during our dinner running by and talking about things we had no business hearing about to her coworkers. When we left she just sat there on her phone didn’t say thanks for coming in or anything. Hire someone else! Hold young people accountable! I am 23 btw! If you can’t handle a customer service job work anywhere else!

- SFSara FeinsNov 9, 20255.0Celebrated my nieces Birthday here lastnight. Our server, Jordan was so amazing and kind to us. Very respectful and answered any questions we had.
- PMPolly MartinezOct 25, 20255.0We had dinner at the Outback on University Park 10/24/25. Our server Juan was outstanding! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I had ordered a steak and side sweet potato and casually said to my husband I won't be able to eat it I will get too full so i'm going to take it to lunch tomorrow. When Juan brought our order he had my sweet potato all boxed up. It's just a little thing but I was impressed . Great waiter! We need more like Juan! 💕
